Well I had a bit of time to do some hunting this weekend, came up with a 1st for me. 1945 "S" nickel in an area that looks like it had just been hunted recently, I dug all three of the nickels and a few of the older pennies in that area but no silver. On a side note the 1945 nickel was hidden nicely under a pulltab that someone here in Portland had dug up discovered a pull tab and put the plug back over the top of without removing it. I pulled the tab and added it to my junk sack and rechecked the hole...and found ANOTHER pull tab or so I thought..and I almost didn't dig deeper to get it...I really am glad I did . I left there and hit a ball park that I hit when I feel the need to dig some clad and dug up about $1.50 or so and hit a kids play ring (pot metal with enamel). It wasn't the 3 carat diamond that my wife was hoping for but its still kind of a fun ring
